New Logo and Updated Database at Gigablast

Gigablast announces a modified logo and the addition of a new slogan, "Information Acceleration." Its database has been updated and is now at about 250 million records. It can also now default to an AND search, like all the major search engines. However, to get it to do that, you have to append &rat=1 to the end of the URL after a search. While the technique is impractical for most searchers, we can hope that the default AND will become an an option within a preference page and/or an advanced search choice sometime in the future. Hopefully, the advanced search page will also have a section for displaying meta tags in the results set as well.
